gamblers for bush?

It is strange enough that Linda Ronstadt was escorted out of the Alladin casino after dedicating her performance to Michael Moore. I've never understood this 'entertainers aren't supposed to voice politics' thing. Why not?
She will, according to an Alladin spokesman, not be welcomed back again to the Alladin. For dedicating a performance to a documentary maker? Call the cops.
But, most amusing, is this:
That dedication angered some Aladdin guests who spilled drinks, tore down posters and demanded their money back, said casino spokeswoman Sara Gorgon on Tuesday.

"We had quite a scene at the box office," she said.

About a quarter of the 4500 people in the audience got up and left before the performance had finished, Gorgon said.


Spilled their drinks? I thought drink spilling was reserved for the fallen homies. I can imagine the flower-shirted and white shorts Ronstadt attendee right now, tilting the edge of his Cosmopolitan in a fooey to you, Ms Ron-sucks....i told her. Now gather your bags, Dorothy, we're going to Celine Dion...a true American.


PS. Apparently Ronstadt was prediposed to annoy Alladin into not welcoming her back:
Before her concert, Ronstadt had laughingly told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that she hoped that the casino performance would be her last.
"I keep hoping that if I'm annoying enough to them, they won't hire me back," she was quoted as telling the newspaper.
